A Fireplace is Art - at least 8 feet tall
This fireplace in the Legion of Honor caught my eye. I could imagine some family gathered around it or even a man with a pipe leaning against it. It has some worn areas where some one was touching it, its not perfect, but quite lovely.Sunday, July 27, 2008

"The Russian Bride's Attire" by Konstantin Makovsky, painted in 1887
This painting is very large, and takes up most of the wall it is displayed on. The Bride sits with a woman in front of her, gazing into her eyes. Are they sisters, leaving each other? Friends? Lovers? The detail is incredible and truly looks like a photograph. The man to the right is the only adult male in the photo, I believe he is checking on his dowry.
I think when I was a kid and my cousins got married, I thought they would be gone forever. I know now that is not true. But there is a time in all of our lives where we fear that someone will leave because a change has occurred in their lives. Or in our own. This is my life, the best one I've ever had, the only one I will ever know. There is no rewind button. Or fast-forward. Stay.

Holocaust Memorial - Legion of Honor
This memorial is hidden by a wall, and when I reached the wall, and peered over the edge, I believe I lost my breath. Thursday, July 24, 2008
